As you might expect from the name 'Gold Label', this is La Marchesa's top Cortese. We don't know the others, but this is a wine with a light touch but considerable intensity emerging through leafy, lime and fresh pear fruit, textured minerality and mountain-fresh acidity.

Tenuta la Marchesa
The villa 'La Marchesa' after which this estate is named was built in 1750 by the owners at the time, a Genovese banking family, in order to keep their daughter happy for her forthcoming wedding day. It is now in the hands of the Giulini family, who have installed a brand new wine cellar with the most up to date vinification techniques, whilst maintaining the character of the original villa. Situated a mere 40 km from the sea, the soil on the estate is a clay/limestone mix and greatly influences the character of its wines. After a brief flirtation in 1998, L&S went back in 2014 and has shipped these wines consistently since then. You can visit their website here.
